I hope you get hens! So glad your air quality is better!

Think most have better air now but yes better for our birds and us Richard had dogs out more than a hour this morning .. That is the longest run since the smoke moved in

Takes me 9 hours total but I made some Pacific crabapple jelly. Much of that time is cooking the apples down in water then straining in a jelly bag. Spent well over an hour picking them, then several hours removing stems. Only sugar added then boiled and jarred. It makes a very stiff jelly.

8 half pints all canned up. Mom gets one but the rest are ours. I don't like sharing because of how long it takes.

Those are so tiny...I don't blame you for keeping most of it!
I love crabapple jelly! I wanted to make some this year, but we didn't have enough on our tree! I have a juicer & it makes the jelly a very beautiful pink color!

 

[pennyJo1960]

Wow looks like you had quite the job done there ....

 

[Hinotori]

I've thought about pulling out the steam juicer for them. They are so hard I don't think they will work well. It's great for grapes though. We always juiced grapes that way when I was a kid.

They don't taste like the European crabapples. There is a distinctive taste to them. It's a native tree here.

I like European crabapple jelly as well.

I use most of the jams and jellies in yogurt but hubby has sandwiches.
